The day before Thanksgiving sees more impairment-related crashes than any other day of the year, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation.

Beginning this Friday through Sunday, November 29th, the Galena Police Department will join many other law enforcement agencies across the state, including the Kansas Highway Patrol, in the Kansas Thanksgiving Safe Arrival traffic enforcement campaign. 

A grant from KDOT will support overtime enforcement efforts.  While all Kansas Traffic Laws will be enforced, this extra provision will be aggressively targeting and removing impaired drivers from the roads.
